Music festivals in Italy merge in cost-cutting move
To enable the famous Viterbo Baroque Festival -- held for the past 41 years -- to go ahead, it will be combined with the Tuscia Operafestival, according to Tuscia's artistic director Stefano Vignati.
Both festivals are funded by the Viterbo region.
"The two festivals will propose a full programme of 45 events," Vignati told a press conference in Rome, including opera, concerts, ballets, Latin American tango and even a photography exhibition.
Giacomo Puccini's comic opera "Gianni Schicchi" will open the festival, which runs from July 13 to August 18.
